What the source establishes

  • The cited operator source identifies Meta Altoona data center or its Altoona (Polk County) location as part of its data-center footprint. [1]
  • This record uses a campus-area coordinate so the map can help visitors find the right community without claiming an exact address.
  • The site does not convert investment announcements, cloud-region descriptions, or utility infrastructure into a campus power figure unless the source expressly does so.

What this page does not establish

  • The exact parcel boundary, building entrance, or current construction phase.
  • Current power draw, water use, generator count, or local tax agreement.
  • Whether later permitting, expansion, or closure changed the operator’s description.

What to check next

  1. Search the city or county planning agenda using the operator and project name.
  2. Check air-permit, water, and utility filings separately; each can cover a different part of a campus.
  3. Use the map as a research starting point, then confirm parcel-level facts with local records.
